Re: X-T100 focus

between subsequent shots. I mean that the camera refocuses before every shot even keeping the shutter button half pressed. This is disappointing and very annoying when you just want to try different compositions with the same subject.

MIne definitely doesn`t do that - I use the camera in single point AF mode .

Focus mode AF-S not Continuous (thats probably  your issue)

Focus Priority in AF-S set (it defaults to release which means it`ll take pics even if OOF)

PRE-AF to off (stops the thing refocussing on the ground when checking pics on the LCD)

I also set interlock spot-AE and focus area to on because I like it to AEL on half press too and it holds both exposure and focus on half press
